The Texans’ incredible season came to an end with the awards. Under new head coach DeMeco Ryans, Houston emerged victorious from many losing seasons and advanced to the postseason.
With rookies winning both accolades, the Texans are only the fourth team in history to do it. It proves the quality of Stroud and Anderson.
Especially Stroud had a tremendous debut campaign. The Ohio State product scored 26 touchdowns while throwing for over 4,000 yards.
Stroud stated, “It’s an honor,” in an interview with NFL Network. It is an honor to be chosen as the winner of this award within this rookie bunch.”
